The irony is that like D’Antoni , his coaching deficiencies were covered up on the court by Billups’ ability to be a coach on the floor and like D’Antoni he is going lose his job because he lost Chauncey.

The problem with VDN’s offense is that it is way too predictable at this point.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:22:04 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=47148#comment-80526I’d be skeptical to even give him that. Blake Griffin’s game has shown no major improvement from last year (especially in his mid-range jumpshot and his awful free throw shooting.) I just think he’s atrocious. To watch his plays is to watch some of the worst half-court sets in the league, made only better by having so much damn talent on that roster. The worst part is, his offense sucks and that’s his GOOD part.

Vinny just doesnt have the experience to get it done. Get rid of him sooner rather than later and get on with it. So many great pieces in place for this team.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:37:32 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=47148#comment-80505Maybe he is a start’em up coach who is good w/ young inexperienced players but doesn’t coach talented veterans well. Like a college coach to a highschool coach, it’s a level up thing. He did well with the Bulls & now look at them they play at the next (contender) level w/ a championship coach. Come to the Wizards

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:39:32 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=47148#comment-80481This article is something I been waiting months for, “Fire Vinny” has constituted of over half of my posts on this website..

and screw you Vinny telling the team they have to “guard” better, that’s so simplified it must be a joke, what are you coaching a little league team, this is the pros bruh!

Lets see the facts here

Fact #1 Right after you were fired from the Bulls, Thibbedau made them the league’s best defensive team with basically the exact same roster

Fact #2 And once again in the Clips you have a team FULL of young athletic players, probably the most athletic team in the league overall, and yet YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING WITH IT

you remind me of a teenage virgin who talks all big about his first time, and then when you get with a hottie you have no idea what to do

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:39:25 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=47148#comment-80480He definitely should. He’s not awful like others have suggested, but he isn’t the right man for the job. Dantoni is available and Chris paul would be a good point guard for his system. Nate McMillan is available as well (although Sterling probably wouldn’t hire him. A sort of dark horse guy to think about it Larry Brown. He’s coached the Clippers before and he’d be the perfect guy to make this team more disciplined. It’s a group of veterans and he has the point guard he requires.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:33:17 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=47148#comment-80479They should hire Phil Jackson. He would love to stick it to mini-Buss after he tried to change the team from being any type of a Phil team. This team has much more chance than the Knicks in the future. He can stay in the LA area and maybe even only coach the home games. Sterling needs to step up and do the non-Sterling thing and for once try to win the Championship.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:21:17 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=47148#comment-80461If teams want to hire him, they should give him a position of “Youth Development” or something.

I doubt he can lead a team to the Finals and win a ring, but he has done a decent job of transitioning college players to NBA players.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:45:02 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=47148#comment-80449As he is a terrible coach, yes, yes his job should be in danger.

It was evident in the very first game with Thibs how bad the coaching had been under Vinny. You could do a drinking game to VDN’s bad timeouts.

How he lucks into Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin, I’ll never know.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:40:13 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=47148#comment-80447This guy is a crap coach. He held back the Bulls for quite a while and without him they became contenders the year after.
